What is the best tennis racket for a complete beginner?

Reviewer consensus

Across specialist-community threads (r/10s), oversized, lightweight, head-heavy frames like the HEAD Ti S6 and forgiving recreational sticks like the Wilson Hyper Hammer 5.3 are repeatedly recommended for newcomers because their large sweet spots and easy power require less technique. The trade-off reviewers consistently flag is that very light, powerful 'rocket launcher' frames can hold back technical development if you stick with them too long.
